Use quality ingredients:

  • Olive oil: Use a good quality oil. Users of the Ciao website recommend Aceite Carbonell. Here is anothe list of recommended Spanish olive oils: Aceitedeoliva.com..
  • As far as the stock cube is concerned, our very special and bonafide chef, Abuela (Grandmother) Joaquina, recommends using Gallina Blanca chicken breast stock.
  • If you prefer, you can follow the same recipe but instead of chicken use turkey or lamb. If you use lamb. If you do use lamb, remember to use more aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary..) and less oil, because lamb is fattier than chicken. If you don't have any wine, you can also use cognac, martini, whiskey, liquor...
